Community Engagement

Statement of Policy

Community engagement allows our students to reflect on the difference they are capable of making locally, regionally, and in some cases, globally. Students involved in community engagement often find themselves gaining greater understanding of their impact within our community, while also envisioning how their work contributes towards a greater good beyond self​. Community engagement is an intentional shift within our school to broaden our students interactions outside of school walls.
